I don't know that we'd have to refer to selective pressure, perhaps our minds are simply incapable of "null" -regardless-...they cannot help but to suggest action? It's a minor mismatch of subjects, truth be told, between "acting on something superstitious" and "doing nothing". Neither really excludes the other, no decision between the two needs be made. If you ask me, superstitious acts -are "doing nothing"?
(it would be immensely difficult, in any case, to determine that superstition was any more or less harmful than doing nothing - as a general operating principle, in any case...if only for the propenderance of creatures whose first survival instinct is precisely that, -do nothing...don't move, don't twitch, cut out that breathing shit to a minimum-...I just can't see it as some obviously poor strategy relative to any other
hrugs:....perhaps, if you could point to some particular superstition that is either more or less harmful than doing nothing, and what sort of situation that this may be true in context of? Then, of course, "nothing" is a strange word..look at how it expands and contracts when we use it, as I did in the example of survival instincts above, eh?)

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
